Founder
Blake Yoder
Blake built Crown Vinyl for people who have lived with their records for years but never found a cataloging tool that felt easier than the collection itself.
Interviews can cover camera-first cataloging, pressing identification, honest AI limitations, collection value, and what older collectors need from software.
For a demo, the host chooses the records. Difficult examples and misses stay in the final piece.
